Cyber and Resilience Report 2016

Digital’s role in regaining resilience

Society’s reliance on technology systems and processes makes it increasingly more vulnerable to the threat of cyber-attacks. Much attention is currently paid to the question of how to react to system-disrupting, cyber-attacks.

Far less attention, however, is paid to the question of how to build resilience, which would mean that cyber-attacks are not able to disrupt systems to the same extent.

Creating greater resilience is seen by many as one of the biggest challenges facing the modern digital age.

During our Thought Leadership consultation, our discussions focused on creating a new vision for resilience. We discussed what changes in behaviour are needed and how we all have a role to play in creating a more digitally resilient society.
